An executive maxim suggests “Don’t do anything yourself when you can delegate it”. In TriCaster Advanced
Edition, each video layer has its own small ‘confidence monitor. To delegate the T-bar, Auto and Take controls
to govern one or more layers in the Switcher or an M/E, simply click the monitor for the layer you want to
control – whether the Background, or a DSK/KEY layer.
To delegate multiple channels simultaneously, hold the CTRL key while clicking the monitors for the desired
channels. The monitor for delegated channel(s) will be shown with a blue border (see Figure 9-16).
FIGURE 9-16
Let’s see how applying the concept of delegating controls affects their use:

Assign something suitable to the DSK 1 and DSK 2 layers.

Click the solo Take buttons in the DSK control groups to hide these DSK layers, if they are visible on
output.

Click the small BKGD monitor left of the T-Bar.

Click the main Auto button (below the T-bar).
 Now, hold down the Ctrl key and click the monitor for DSK 1. (Or, press both the BKGD and DSK 1
buttons on a TriCaster control surface Transition Delegate group at the same time.)
You have just delegated the controls to two video layers. You can likely guess what comes next.
 Press Auto or Take, and observe the result.

Now add DSK 2 to the delegate selection, and switch again.
The BKGD layer is updated, DSK 1 is removed, and DSK 2 is displayed.
Hint: The Look Ahead Preview monitor respects your Transition delegate selections, allowing you to
configure layers for upcoming switcher operations with great confidence.
A progress bar beneath each of the DSK control groups tracks transition progress (progress bars remain fully
‘on’ when a layer is 100% displayed).
